Make everyone's certificate at once, from a list of names
Make certificates for a contest, course or training all at once: give the list of names and each person gets their own, to print or save as PDF, made in Bangla.
- Make certificates for our computer training centre. It is called Alor Poth IT, a three-month office applications course, batch 12. The director signs at the bottom; cream and dark green colours.
- I want certificates for the winners of our school sports day: name, event and first, second or third place. Two signatures, the head teacher and the sports teacher.
- 45 students finished my online graphic design course. I want a completion certificate for each of them, with a serial number and my signature.
If you say "make certificates", do you get everyone's certificate at once from a list of names?
Yes. Write in Bangla the institution's name, the course or contest, the date and who signs; the AI builds you a certificate maker app. Put the list of names in it and each person gets their own certificate with a serial number, to download one at a time or all together as PDF. Starting is free.
Making certificates, in three steps
- Say what they are for: The institution's name, the course or event, the date, who signs and the colours you like. If you have a logo, give the picture in the builder.
- The AI builds the tool: In a few minutes you get a certificate maker of your own: fields for the details on top, a big box for the list of names below. Try a sample with five names first.
- Add names, download PDFs: Put one name per line, or paste them from Excel. Each person's certificate comes separately; save them as PDFs one at a time or all together.
No more typing a hundred names in one by one
Handing out certificates after a contest or a course is usually the most tiring part: make one design, type every name into it separately, check that Bengali names are not breaking, and reopen everything when a spelling mistake turns up at the last minute.
Here you describe it once and a tool of your own is built. Put in the whole list of names at once and each certificate comes out separately. The tool is built to keep Bengali names correct in the PDF; open one PDF to check before printing. For the next batch, just change the list.
What goes on a certificate
- The institution's name at the top, with a small logo
- The title: Certificate, Certificate of Honour or Certificate of Completion
- The recipient's name, largest of all, in the middle
- A line or two on what it is for: the course and its length, or the contest event and place
- Signature lines at the foot, each with a name and designation below it, and room for a seal
- The date and a serial number, small, in a corner
How to give the list of names for the certificates
Put one name per line in the names box. If the names are in a column of an office Excel file or a Google Sheet, copy the whole column and paste it straight into the box. To add a roll, batch or place as well, say so when building the tool: "I will give a name and roll on each line with a comma between; put both on it."
- Fix spellings in the list itself; a mistake in the list goes onto every certificate
- Try five names the first time, and give the whole list once those look right
- For very long names, say "if a name is long, make the text smaller and keep it on one line"
Signatures and seals on the certificates
The safest way is to print with only a signature line and the name and designation under it, then sign and stamp by pen. For a large batch, scan a clean picture of the signature, give it in the builder and say "put this above the signature line"; then there is no signing by hand.
But never share the link of a tool that carries a signature picture, and do not put that tool live: anyone with the link could download certificates with your signature. A tool without a signature is fine to share with a colleague, who can then download certificates too.
Printing certificates on card paper
BanglaCodes does not print anything; take the PDFs to a print shop or print them on your own printer. If you want the certificates in landscape, say "landscape A4" when building the tool, and choose Landscape when printing too.
Certificates look much better on thicker card paper than on plain paper. Before printing the whole list, really print one sample: a border that looks fine on screen can get cut off on paper. If it does, tell the builder "add a little more space all round", then print again.
Not government papers: what these certificates are for
A certificate made here is recognition from your own institution: finishing a course, a place in a contest, taking part in a training or workshop, a school prize. Government papers such as a TIN or domicile certificate, a citizenship or character certificate, or a birth registration are not made here; get those from the government office concerned or its official website.
What it costs to make certificates
Building the tool runs on free AI Token: up to 400,000 free AI Token a day, refilled daily. Once it is built, however many certificates you make with it, no AI is involved, so there is no further cost. The only cost is printing, which is between you and the print shop. For contest questions, see the question-making page.
Questions about making certificates
Do I need to install a certificate app?
No. You make it in the phone browser by describing it in Bangla, and what gets built is your own certificate maker app. Next time, open it and just change the list of names.
Do I have to type 50 names one by one?
No. Put the whole list in the box at once, one name per line; copying a column from Excel works too. Each person gets a separate certificate, and they can all be saved as PDFs together.
Will Bengali names break in the PDF?
The tool is built to keep Bengali names correct in the PDF, conjuncts included. Still, before printing the whole list, open one PDF and check two or three names; if one breaks, tell the builder "fix the Bengali names in the PDF".
Do these certificates have any legal value?
It is recognition from your institution, worth the same as a certificate printed at a press. Government papers, such as a TIN or citizenship certificate, are not made here; get those from the government office.
Will the certificates reach everyone by themselves?
No. The files download to your phone or computer and sending them is up to you: send each person their PDF on WhatsApp or Messenger, or print them and hand them out.
Can the same tool make ID cards or badges?
Yes. Tell the builder "now make it ID card size, a photo space on the left, name and designation on the right"; seminar badges work the same way. Ask for several cards on one page to save paper when printing.
Does it cost money to make certificates?
Building the tool runs on the daily free AI Token, and making certificates with the finished tool needs no AI, so there is no extra cost. The only cost is printing, with whichever print shop you choose.
